I had no trouble boarding a plane in the early bunch in Vienna last fall. I just walked in next to a guy in a wheelchair. I don’t remember whether they even checked my ticket. However, at my next stop (Munich) I was targeted for extra screening. LOL

Well, when test runs are done most things get past the screening. I see loads of them “on duty” in groups talking, phones in hand, etc.. The biggest change to aircraft security since 9/11 is the passenger mindset. We would never allow it to happen today. The rest is just for show.

Next time you fly, look at how the ticket is structured, the cost of the flight is only about half of the total. The rest is for taxes, fees, security, etc...

"However, the thing that’s odd is that she could just walk through the TSA armed checkpoint like that."

It's called "Black Privilege".

When Haynes was approached and asked for her ID, she refused, saying only, “My name and faith are my ID”

Seems legit...

“An employee was placed on non-screening duty pending final determination of the inquiry, but has since resigned.”

Uh, what? Did the gov really expect this employee to physically stop this woman? Really? And get arrested for assault?

Heck... she mighy’ve blown up.

Yup. . .you want badge-heavy mouth-breathing TSA goons the power to physically stop you?

TSA goons have no authority to stop anyone.

The police do.

TSA can call and watch and follow, but they should never be given the right to physically detain you. . .we see too many TSA abuses as it stands now, imagine the 7-11 rejects given arrest authority. . .whoa. . .

There’s a good reason TSA is unarmed.

Love made the top 10 list for gun grabs last year, and would rank even higher than 8th if you calculated it on a per passenger basis. (DFW was in first place with almost 3 times the number of guns seized.)

I don’t believe “Gentlemen prefer Haynes!”

Thanks for the info, I'll ask my son about it. Since he moved out about a year ago, we see him rarely. He had to leave his dog, though, she's larger than the rules allow.

We got the better part of the deal...lol.

It was a good move for him, it was (past) time for him to spread his wings.

And now that they know they can muscle onto an aircraft at the gate if they act quickly enough, it will probably be a suicide bomber next time. Imagine a fully fueled and boarded aircraft going up at the gate with others parked nearby. Time to replace the collaborator in the White House with someone serious about the threats we face (and that excludes both of the addled old fools the Dems want to saddle us with).

This is the reason why TSA agents are so feared and respected! I’ll bet a dozen of them just watched, shook their heads, then went about their business.

Writing TRUMP in chalk on the threshold of every passenger plane would make TSA obsolete.

I've been targeted for extra screening several times.They always claimed they'd detected nitrates on my laptop. I don't understand how that could happen, but it has.

She has the glassy, protuberant eyes, and disheveled look of mental illness.

And looks like no one taught her what a hairbrush was for.
